Strange request - Insect repellent

My new job involves working in a park and near a big forest. Been gettinbg tortured with midges in the evening was wondering if you guys could recommend an easy to apply insect repellent to keep the little buggers away lol

PS I meant RepellEnt - too much Shiraz under the bridge tonight, spelling has suffered!!!
